If so, do you agree that he feels by capturing and punishing Osama will jeopardize his monetary involvement with the Carlisle group??

No, I don't.
However, I do think that there are covert operations in place, as recent developments (such as terrorist camps found, and people high up in Al Qaida being captured) have demonstrated.
There is more that goes on in the CIA and FBI than the American public EVER needs to know.
It has nothing whatsoever with ANY allegations of "monetary involvement" with any group, including the Carlisle (which I thought was actually the "Carlyle") group.
Bush is our commander-in-chief, and the classified information that HE is privy to is also made available to his Chief of Staff, various members of the CIA and FBI, as well as various other Cabinet members.
He is not a dictator. He does not make every decision. If HE knew where bin Laden was, the CIA, FBI, Secret Service (they're with him at ALL times, and ALL calls placed out of the White House are recorded in a log), NSA, and other government agencies would also know.
Then Congress would know. Then it would leak to the news media, and we would ALL know.
So again, I reiterate, NO.
Only those who don't know much about the executive branch or who spend too much time on rense.com or infowars.com would insist otherwise.

No, he does not know where Osama really is. No matter what all the conspiracy theories out there say, the Bush knew where Osama was, he or the rest of the government or military would do anything to capture or kill him. Hopefully they would go about it the correct legal way, but if not. No sweat off my back. He deserves it.

Yes we know his general where abouts he is in the border region of Pakistan where the people are only loosely tied to the government.They are well armed and funded mainly by the Saudis.We have only just recently pulled off an air strike in the region.Pakistan is reluctant or incapable of doing anything in the region for fear that it will ignite a civil war in Pakistan.
I have no clue what you are talking about with the Carlisle group.

For all we know he was in one of those camps Pakistan went after today/yesterday. Who really cares?
I wonder if public opinion in Arabia is actually that what he did was good for the middle east?
As I understand it, he is looking at as having opened Pandora's box, not that they don't hate Pandora even more.

If he did, don't you think he'd put Osama's severed head on the Oval Office desk with a big s**t eating grin on his face?

No, because assuming he is the greedy bastard everyone things he is he would turn him in for the $25 million reward and retire.

I think Bush believes that Osama is in the West Bank inside a bunker filled with weapons of mass destruction that the Iraqis hid. Bush also believes that tooth fairies visit him twice a year to steal his map to the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.

i would think that would boost his rating if anything, then he can retire from politics when his term is up with a bang!
